Chapter 526
“What?”
Halley’s eyes widened in shock as she heard Sergio’s outrageous promises. She whirled around to face him, and she sternly demanded, “Sergio, is this true?
Sergio knew Maeve was pushing his buttons on purpose, but he decided to play along. “Maeve enjoys her job. Let her do what makes her happy, Grandma, you don’t need to worry about”
orry? I’m getting older and I want to see the next generation come into the world! Why didn’t you tell me about this?” Halley humed.
“How can I not worry?)
Maeve gave a reassuring smile, “Don’t be upset, Mrs. Brooks. This is between Sergio and me. We’ve signed an agreement when we remarried—we’re choosing to be DINKS, double income, no kids.”
Sergio suddenly choked on his soup
Hailey nearly fainted at Maeve’s words. “No kids? Sergio, how could you agree to this?”
Maeve rested her chin in her hand while watching Hailey’s reaction with satisfaction.
Sergio rubbed his temples and said, “Grandma, please, just eat your meal.”
“Eat? How can I possibly eat after this?” Haley’s composed facade shattered. She shot Maeve a venomous glare before being escorted out of the dining room by Allie. With Hailey gone, the room fell silent, leaving Maeve and Sergio alone.
Maeve returned to her usual indifferent expression, put down her utensils, and said, “I’m done.”
she turned to leave, but Sergio grabbed her hand. “Come with me”
Maeve said nothing as Sergio led her out of Brooks Manor and into the car.
Once inside the vehicle, Sergio broke the silence. “I don’t want Grandma to know about our divorce. Can you keep it a secret? And she’s getting older-”
“Mr. Brooks, I get what you’re trying to say,” Maeve replied indifferently. “As long as she doesn’t provoke me, I
“Alright..”
Sergio parked the car at the entrance of Brooks Estate
Maeve glanced at Brooks Estate. “Why did you bring me here?”
I won’t provoke her.”
“As the daughter-in–law of the Brooks family, you should have paid respects to my parents on our wedding day.”
“I know.” Maeve averted her gaze in her previous life, Sergio hadn’t recognized her as his wife, so that step had been skipped.
Sergio guided Marve through Brooks Estate, a place with a long history and numerous renovations.
Marie’s thoughts drifted to the secrets of the four major families. Unfortunately, since the Brooks family had risen to prominence later, it probably had no connection to them
White Merwe was lost in thought, Sergio had already led her to a room on the top floor. The walls were adorned with photos of Sergio’s parents and grandparents, with two wooden memorial plages hanging above them.
Marw was puzzled. “Are those for your great–grandparents?”
